Customer projects from Australia.


Michael sent me these pictures, he is a member of the Cooroora Woodworking Club in Cooroy in Queensland Australia. The club has its own saw mill and above you can see a board being lifted off after being cut. It looks like an Alaska type saw with a pair of guide rails to keep it running true, particularly useful on the initial cut. They get most of their wood donated by the council so it's effectively free timber, I wish we had a club like that around here!


Here are a couple of nice projects made from the proceeds of the saw mill.

  1. regarding the sawmill,it is actually a Lucas with a slabing attachment, quite different than an Alaskan saw mill. Check them out they are quite the saw mills!

  2. I would love to see such a club locally David. How fantastic would it be to have access to heavy milling equipment and a stock of fine material.

    One can only dream I suppose.

    2. I'm really not sure, it looks a bit like olive but they have completely different woods down there. All the best, David.
